Host Lancaster High School captured top honors in the 10th annual Running for Ryan KLS county track meet held at the LHS track on Saturday.
The annual meet, held in memory of Ryan McKinney, a former Bruins’ track athlete who graduated at LHS in 2004, featured all four county teams. McKinney died in 2006 and since that time, his mother, Donna White-Bailey, has been on a mission to raise awareness for Kleine Levin Syndrome (KLS).
Lancaster led the way with 194 points, followed by Indian Land with 127, Andrew Jackson with 73 and Buford 69.

Class AA’s top-rated Indian Land Lady Warriors blanked rival Lancaster, taking a 3-0 girls soccer win over the No. 15 Lady Bruins on Wednesday night.
Katherine Kilroy, Kelsey Long and Nia Pressley each scored a goal. Kilroy had an assist as did Reagan Hunter and Kate Komorous.
IL had 33 shots to four for the LHS girls.
Emma Thompson had four saves in the shutout.
Lancaster freshman keeper Lydia Plyler had 19 saves on the night.
The Lady Warriors improved to 18-1, while LHS fell to 11-5.

The Buford High Lady Jackets neatly wrapped up the Region IV-AA softball crown with a 10-0 home win over county rival Indian Land on Wednesday night.
The Lady Jackets, 12-0 in region play, are 15-3 on the season.
Buford hurler Sydney Sullivan hurled a two-hitter and struck out nine in posting the complete-game win. She had no walks and hit a batter.

Indian Land played the spoiler on Buford baseball senior night, taking a 6-1 win over the host Jackets on Wednesday.
Buford, coming off an 8-0 road win over Central of Pageland on Monday, was hoping to wrap up the region baseball title with a win, but the Warriors foiled the occasion with their five-run win.
The Warriors’ win also gave IL a bid to the Class AA Upstate playoffs.

Indian Land High girls soccer coach Mark Bonda, in 10 years with the Lady Warriors program, has seen it grow, with an all-time high this week.
The Lady Warriors, 18-1, are No. 1 in Class AA girls soccer for the first time in school history.
“We want to play the best teams in the state and make a name for ourselves,” said Bonda, who is in his ninth season as head coach with a 122-52-6 record. “We are starting to get some recognition for some of our success.
